Yemen's parliament swore in the Houthi-led governing council on Sunday.
The action removes the power and legitimacy of the internationally
recognized but exiled president Abd-Rabbu Mansour Hadi and his
government. The armed Houthis and their ally, Yemen's General People's
Congress, led by former President Ali Abdullah Saleh, control the
capital Sanaa. After the swearing-in ceremony, the head of the new
council called on all countries to re-open their embassies and missions
in the Yemeni capital.
